During my wife's and my recent beer/wine/triathlon vacation in NZ we decided to stop into Good George for some brew and pizza. Between my wife and I, we had several of their offerings in a single sitting since we had nowhere else to be.
This beer pours a reddish amber hue that is clear and features very light carbonation. The off white, frothy head dissipates quickly to a thin lacing that is almost non-existent. There does remain, however, a slight creamy neck that is retained nicely. 3.25/5 The aroma is incredibly subdued with any aromas coming across as undertones more than anything, lending the beer a very watery quality. There is some sweet caramel and grainy malt, but other than that nothing to really speak of. 3/5 The flavor is primarily on the malty side of things with caramel and toasted white bread coming through quite strongly along with some earthy and herbal hops that lend a very light bitterness that lingers very shortly and weakly. The flavors are fairly subdued throughout the profile. 3.25/5 This is a very wet, but not coating, watery beer that has very low carbonation and a very light body. It quenches any thirst for sure, but does not stick around after swallowing. 3/5 I can't say that I am a fan of this amber. Maybe it's just a weak batch that I happened to get a glass of, but this beer is very weak in terms of flavor. I think it has potential with the right flavor notes for an amber, but it's just not up to snuff for me. 3/5
